<p>Josh Marshall decided to give his son Gabriel a confidence boost following his cancer treatment</p>

<p>In March 2015, Gabriel was diagnosed with a form of cancer called anaplastic astrocytoma, a rare malignant brain tumour and needed life saving surgery.</p>

<p>However, his Dad said that Gabriel told him he felt like a &ldquo;monster&rdquo; because of a large scar he has as a result of his surgery.</p>

<p>&ldquo;This broke my heart,&rdquo; Marshall said. The thoughtful father&rsquo;s solution was to get a tattoo that resembled his son&rsquo;s scar</p>

<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;I told him if people wanted to stare, they could stare at both of us,&rdquo; he said.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Josh entered a touching photo of both himself and Gabriel for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.stbaldricks.org/blog/post/and-the-2016-bestbalddad-is?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=socialmedia&amp;utm_content=bbd2016winnerblog&amp;utm_campaign=blog" target="_blank">St. Baldrick&rsquo;s Foundation&rsquo;s</a>&nbsp;#BestBaldDad competition for Father&#39;s Day.</p>
